On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) introduced the book named “UNFPA at Work: Six Human Rights Case Studies” at a seminar gathered at 15 December 2008. In the publication the UN Joint Programme on Protecting and Promoting the Human Rights of Women and Girls is designated among the best studies. The other examples of case studies are implemented in Colombia, Ecuador, Nepal, the Philippines, and the United Republic of Tanzania.
Thoraya Ahmed Obaid, the Executive Director of UNFPA, stressed in the foreword that the studies placed in the publication provide guidance and concrete examples of how to integrate human rights standards and principles – such as participation, accountability and non-discrimination–into the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of development programmes. Thoraya Ahmed Obaid stated that in all of the case studies, one constant message came through: understanding and promoting human rights, including the right to sexual and reproductive health, requires contextualizing the approach and ensuring its translation into the local culture and its practices.
